The Lovaas Institute provides behavioral treatment utilizing the principles of applied behavior analysis. The Lovaas Model of Applied Behavior Analysis has undergone rigorous research at UCLA under the direction of Dr. Lovaas, proving its effectiveness in treating children with autism.
How does it differentiate from other methods? The Lovaas Model of Applied Behavior Analysis has the most extensive research of any treatment for children with autism.
Over 40 years of research has shown that the Lovaas Model in particular is an effective treatment
with progress due to the treatment and not some other variable
with effects that last as children grow older, and
with replication data from other studies.
The Lovaas Model of Applied Behavior Analysis has also demonstrated some of the best outcomes for children with autism.
